Charles W. Cain was a student of Camberwell School of Art and later became an illustrator for the "Johannesburg Star" until World War I when he joined the Border Regiment in India and Mesopotamia until the Armistice, after which he entered the Royal College of Art and studied under Frank Short from 1920 to 1921. During the 1920's and 1930's, Cain produced seventy-four original etchings and engravings, all published in London by Greatorex. The large majority of his prints deal with scenes in Iraq, Persia, Indian and Burma and Cain developed a strong reputation as a major Orientalist printmaker. Today, a large collection of Charles W. Cain's dry points can be found at the British Museum, London.
